Addicted to Stress: Why We Crave Drama & Chaos

Welcome to Healing the Hungry Ghost! 🪷 I’m Summer, a trauma therapist exploring the roots of stress, disconnection, and emotional suffering — and what it truly means to heal. Why do we chase chaos, conflict, or constant pressure—even when we say we want calm? In this video, we uncover how stress and drama can become addictive and offer us emotional payoffs that keep us hooked. You’ll learn why gossip, over‑scheduling, or crisis-chasing feel so compelling. We'll look deeper into how these stress patterns form beneath the surface and what it really takes to break free from the addiction to stress. If you’ve ever wondered why calm feels uncomfortable, this is your guide to understanding the hidden dynamics keeping you locked in stress—and how to start reclaiming peace. This video previews where we’re headed later in the series: a deep dive into chronic stress—its effects on our mind, emotions, and relationships. The first episode on chronic stress drops in a few weeks—subscribe to stay tuned!
